6 Balloons

I watched it all the way through. While it was a fairly accurate take on what it's like to love an addict, it's also incredibly underwhelming.

I say "surprisingly" because I usually rely on Metacritic scores, which were just OK for this one, with less than 10 reviewers being counted on for their score. But at just 74 minutes, it was so short that I wanted to watch it. And even though I knew it was a drama, I like Abbi Jacobson from "Broad City," and wanted to see what she would be like in this role. She was very good, as was Dave Franco, who I don't normally care for. And there was a real chemistry between the two of them. "6 Balloons" is intentionally uncomfortable to watch, but it was a good story, and very well-acted by everyone, but especially by Jacobson and Franco.

This was a great film that showed the life of what the addict goes through and also the life of what the family goes through. This movie is very accurate to what goes on in real life. Being close to someone who was addicted to heroin this movie was an accurate description of the diffrent phases I saw him go through.

It really shows how the sister was willing to do anything for her brother. A relationship between a brother and a sister is probably one of the closest relationships you can have. And even though I did not intially like the voice narative, chapter one, chapter two...in the end it came together and made perfect sense.

I definitely recommend this movie. It's really sad, especially if it hits home for you. But it opens up your eyes and helps you realize what you sometimes do, what you can do and what you probably should do in a situation like this.

The low review for this movie is so misleading.

Yes, it could be considered underwhelming in terms of drama and action if that's what you're looking for. It isn't Trainspotting 3 and was never meant to be. It's focus was on emotion and the hold that drug use can have on a family. It was real and not pumped up for the sake of making it a more exciting movie.

The performances, music, and story were fantastic. It's worth a watch. It will suck you in and really gets across the emotions that everyone in a family goes through when a member battles addiction.

This story is about a sister's love for her Brother and how much she sacrifices for him. There is no big event or a climax in the movie however it does bring you on her journey. You feel her pain, her disappointment, her anger. It's a good movie. Those who have or had someone they love with a drug addiction will find this story all too familiar and for those who don't, this shines a light on what they go through.
